Chisox edge crosstown rival

CHICAGO — Adam Engel and Matt Davidson homered, and the White Sox snapped a nine-game losing streak with a 3-1 win over the crosstown rival Cubs at Wrigley Field on Monday.

Jose Abreu had two hits and doubled in a run for the ALworst White Sox, who ended their longest slide in four years.
